Years ago, I used to be very Wiccan - burying apples in the backyard to feed my dead loved ones, saying prayers, baking pumpkin bread...celebrating Halloween and the ancient pagan new year simultaneously. Somewhere along the line, I lost that witchy part of myself in the process of finishing college, getting married, and trying to keep our heads above water. I miss it.
There has always been something so magical about Autumn to me. I really do feel like there is wonder in the air, and magic is possible. This feeling always carries through into the Christmas season, which is my favorite time of year.
I hope Baby will love fall as much as her/his dad and I do, and maybe we can bring back the witchy traditions. We can dress up in costume and say earth prayers in the yard. : )
Anyway, Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has a safe and fun evening! I might be in my yard, burying an apple and waiting for the Great Pumpkin.
